a later release needed more code points than the available extras, and a
new block had to allocated somewhere else, not contiguous to the initial
one, to handle the overflow. Thus, it became apparent early on that
-"block" wasn't an adequate organizing principal, and so the C<Script>
+"block" wasn't an adequate organizing principle, and so the C<Script>
property was created. (Later an improved script property was added as
well, the C<Script_Extensions> property.) Those code points that are in
overflow blocks can still
L<perluniprops>.
Starting in v5.22, you can use Unicode code points as the end points of
-character ranges, and the range will include all Unicode code points
-that lie between those end points, inclusive.
+regular expression pattern character ranges, and the range will include
+all Unicode code points that lie between those end points, inclusive.
qr/ [\N{U+03]-\N{U+20}] /x
includes the code points
C<\N{U+03}>, C<\N{U+04}>, ..., C<\N{U+20}>.
+(It is planned to extend this behavior to ranges in C<tr///> in Perl
+v5.24.)
